Shouldn’t dispatch triage if you need an ambulance or not?

In other countries they do that so aggressively that we have stroke victims dying, which an ambulance being dispatched.

On the other hand, given that triage failures are rare -- cost/benfit wise it's probably better.

In countries where you can call an ambulance like a taxi, won't that lead to ambulances not being available to people who actually need them?
GP was making the argument that high costs of an ambulance is necessary.
